Dynamic Slow-motion Display (DSD)
DSD displays a real-time image and its slow-motion image
side by side simultaneously, enabling easier and more detailed
observation of fast moving organs such as the fetal heart.
Dual Dynamic Display (DDD)
A B-mode image and Flow mode image are displayed
side-by-side in real time, assisting easy anatomical understand-
ing of blood flow.
Silky Image Processing (SIP)
SIP eases differentiation such as between tissue borders by
effectively removing artifacts. The optimal processing can
automatically be configured according to each clinical application.

Image Optimizer
In a single action, B-mode brightness can be adjusted to match
your usual examination setting. Velocity range and baseline
position can also automatically be adjusted, contributing to
examination efficiency.
eFLOW
eFLOW displays blood flow with high spatial resolution and
minimum blooming. F37 provides clear blood flow information
from high speed flow in large vessels to low speed flow in fine
peripheral vessels.
Free Angular M-mode (FAM)
In real time or after freezing, M-mode images can be displayed
in real time or reconstructed from the Cine Memory after
freeze. Images at arbitrary angles can be displayed regardless of
the fetus’s position.
Needle Emphasis (NE)
NE supports accurate and safe puncturing by enhanced
visualization of the needle. Angle of ultrasound beam and
imaging are automatically optimized.
